.Abstract
Background: For ureteral stone removal, ureterosopic lithotripsy (URSL) is the standard treatment. In uncomplicated URSL, stent helps to combat the ureteral mucosal edema and allows passage of small stone fragments. Approximately 80% of patients have reported DJ associated problems like urinary symptoms. The ideal stent is not yet developed. Shigemura et.
al. in their retrospective study showed that lesser(<14 days) the stent indwelling duration, fewer the adverse effects to the patient. Our prospective study was aimed to look for suitable time duration of DJ stent following URSL to minimize the stent related symptoms.
